College Benefits Research Group Discuss Getting Ready For College
David Slater, Co-Founder, CBRG, spoke to Suburban Trends on what parents and students should consider besides getting into the 'best' college.
- (1888PressRelease) June 13, 2015 - Roseland, New Jersey - When considering which college is the "best" one for a student, there are many variables that come into play besides getting into the best or top-notch college. However, in order to make a concrete decision about choosing a school, parents and students must be proactive and plan ahead of time.
David Slater, Co-founder, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), a college planning organization, suggests parents and students take into consideration personal finances, along with other aspects, such as what the student's personal preferences are and what their learning style is.
"It's not just about the cost of the education, it's about the career and the financial prospects afterward, as well," said Slater

Co-founded by Steven Sirot and David N. Slater and joined by their partner, Certified Educational Planner, Janet Loren, CBRGdemonstrates how a private and/or public education is affordable and attainable and allows hard working families to hit a "home run" in finding the right school, academically, socially and financially, for their child. CBRG also assists with the filing of financial aid forms.
"We are different from other college planning services in that we offer "harmonization" of financial, educational and social guidance for the entire family," says Steven Sirot."We meet jointly with students and parents to develop a college game plan that works for everyone. Too often college students attend a school because their friends are there, or it is the so-called 'hot school' that is on everyone's radar, without any consideration of whether the school is right for them or the long-term effect it will have on family finances. We work hard with the entire family to let students know that going to college is a responsible decision that affects the whole family, and there are no 'free rides.' The student will be responsible for their academic success in college, which includes graduating in four years, and for paying back of some loans that may need to be taken out in their name."
